You’ve likely heard someone say “e-cigarettes are less damaging to your health than traditional cigarettes”, but have been reluctant to try them out because of the lack of access to reputable studies and sources. So, we’re here to show you what physicians and scientists have been exploring for years — significant evidence that pod-based e-cigarettes, such as the Logic Power Series, are incredible, beneficial, nicotine-based alternatives to combustible cigarettes. Continue reading below to learn more about this recent, profound study.
The study
Dr. Jasjit S. Ahluwalia, a professor of behavioral and social sciences and medicine at Brown University conducted a randomized clinical trial of fourth-generation pod e-cigarettes and found that e-cigarette use is considerably safer than combustible cigarettes. While the above result seems to be a pattern among many studies directed in the past, this specific study offered further research into “pod-based e-cigarettes” and how successful they were at helping smokers quit for good.
Data from the clinical trial, entitled “Effect of Pod e-Cigarettes vs Cigarettes on Carcinogen Exposure Among African American and Latinx Smokers”, was published on the JAMA Network on November 18, 2020. Since ethnic minority groups tend to experience higher rates of tobacco-related morbidity and mortality even when they smoke at the same rates as other groups, 186 African American and Latinx smokers were chosen to participate in the trial. Two-thirds of the participants were provided e-cigarettes, similar to the pod-based options in the Logic Power Series, for six weeks, whereas the remaining one-third were instructed to continue smoking combustible cigarettes as usual.
What was the result?
After six weeks had passed, data showed that participants who switched to e-cigarettes exhibited significantly lower levels of the potent pulmonary carcinogen NNAL compared to those who had continued to smoke combustible cigarettes exclusively. The e-cig users had also significantly reduced carbon monoxide (CO) levels and reported fewer respiratory symptoms.
“It’s possible that nicotine e-cigarettes and other harm-reduction products will be game-changers for our field,” Ahluwalia added. “I hope this study stimulates more people to do this research and to have an open mind about this. I also hope it inspires them to let science inform policy rather than emotion.”

What a tremendous comment, Deborah. We agree with everything you stated and hope to keep fighting the fight to get help more people become ex-smokers!

E cigs to me have offered the freedom of a less detrimental physical reaction as stated in the e-cigarettes study presented. I appreciate having the option to utilize a safer smoking option vs be forced to use a product that has numerous additives clearly suspect to my health. I find it very sad that the availability of e-cigarettes is scarce in many states due to each smaller seller’s having to pay extra fees to the government, FDA , or trumped up entities to sell a safer.product, yet the regular sellers of proven cancer causing cigarettes are able to dispense easily due to larger pockets. These are dispensers rolling out toxic products, knowing in advance the damage it causes to people, it’s very scary to see how much disregarded is mettled out to the public without batting an eye, as to the damage they cause, and line their pockets knowingly in the process shame on them!!!!!!
